About this service

If your unit isn't turning on, the heater is blowing cold air, or the flame effect has stopped moving, you likely need a professional diagnostic. These systems involve complex internal wiring and heating elements that can be hazardous if handled improperly. If you notice strange odors, flickering lights, or the unit failing to respond to its remote or control panel, it is time to have a technician inspect the electrical components to ensure safe operation.

Many people don't realize that electric fireplaces are perfect for summer evenings. Since you can turn off the heating element entirely, you can keep the aesthetic charm of the fireplace running on a warm night. It creates a relaxing mood for entertaining guests or unwinding after a long day without adding any heat to your home.
